[ Sanders said his Jewish family had included many who lost loved ones in the Holocaust, and this history inspired him to oppose the current upsurge in anti-immigrant sentiment and "Islamophobia." ] The capitalist news media is conveniently forgetting the prominent role intellectual Jews have played in fighting for democratic Socialist ideals. Sad to see too many left-wing Jews seduced by Zionist, apartheid Israel. They should study the writing of Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky on this issue . Irving Howe is one of my favorite leftist authors. He explains in his political autobiography " A Margin of Hope " why progressives should not abandon the provocative word SOCIALISM. He also wrote a popular book titled " The World of Our Fathers ". It seems that those stubborn " New York Intellectuals " could not abandon the socialist faith of their youth- nor could they stop unmasking traitors and heretics on the left. A real human tragedy was the devotion of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the Moscow oriented American Communist Party. The collapse of the Stalinist Soviet Union a generation ago in no way validated the capitalist system. Karl Marx still makes more sense to millions than crank Ayn Rand, author of " The Virtue of Selfishness ". Only a record low voter turn out in the 2016 election will give Donald Trump or any other Republican a chance to be our next president. [ http://radicalrons.blogspot...]
